Chapter 168 Unexpected Changes

Which lyric has left the deepest impression on you?

Lou Xiaoting answered without hesitation: "The blackness is not the night, but the long loneliness."

"These two lines of lyrics are indeed a bit depressing, but the following two lines show that hardship and hope coexist."

—Look down into darkness, look up at the dazzling stars.

After saying those two sentences, Shi Shi hummed the rest of the song.

"Alas, all things in this world are worth hoping for."

True love is the shortest-lived.

What's lost can never be regained.

"The world's preservation of constancy has now been doubled."

"This song contains both a sense of acceptance of the impermanence of life and an expectation for the future. Only with a soaring melody and a shouting style of singing can the sense of power to break free from constraints be conveyed, which perfectly echoes the 'passionate cheering' in the lyrics."

Seeing Lou Xiaoting's eyes light up, clearly understanding what she meant, Shi Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Teaching others was more tiring than self-studying!

She nodded blankly and continued, "Only this kind of performance can strengthen the core themes of 'love for life' and 'starting with confidence' in the song. I've said before that this song can have minor flaws, that's fine, but you have to let your voice out. You've been holding back too much, understand?"

Lou Xiaoting nodded.

"Come on, let's try again."

After one more try, Lou Xiaoting finally got the hang of it! Shi Shi breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Yinglei, who was standing next to Shi Shi, said, "Lou Xiaoting recorded so many takes before, and I thought they were flawless and very good. But after your guidance, I realize I still have a lot to learn."

Shishi quickly comforted her honest husband: "This song is my original work, so naturally I have my own understanding of it. As a recording engineer, your recording just now was flawless. It's already acceptable. However, to create a song that will shake up the market, you must have your own unique creativity. If the singer is cooperative, you can try it boldly in the future."

Don't discourage the oxen and horses! Otherwise, who will work? Besides, Shi Shi was able to achieve such a result because she had heard Hedgehog's live performance before she transmigrated. I must say, the lead singer is ugly, but super cool!

After recording the song, it was already evening. Lou Xiaoting said to Shi Shi with a guilty look, "Sister Shi Shi, it's all my fault for being so slow and taking up so much of your time. Let me treat you to dinner, I really feel bad about it."

Shi Shi waved her hand dismissively, indicating that it wasn't necessary: ​​"It's almost 7 o'clock, you should go home and rest early. There's no need for dinner."

Just kidding! Even if Lou Xiaoting is no longer popular, she's still an idol. If she were really photographed like that, she wouldn't be able to explain herself.

Lou Xiaoting stepped forward and blocked Shishi's way: "Sister Shishi, you've really worked hard. Girls will look haggard if they're always so overworked."

Unsure of the other person's situation, Shi Shi decided against engaging: "Is there anything else?"

Lou Xiaoting was taken aback by these words: "Sister Shi Shi, I really want to thank you. It's just a meal, it won't take up too much of your time. There's a very nice restaurant nearby."

Lou Xiaoting remained relentless. Shi Shi was about to refuse again when...

Lou Xiaoting suddenly spoke up in a low voice, "I have some news about Fu Zhixu. I wonder if you're interested?"

Shi Shi tried to push his hand away, but stopped a short distance away.

"What does his business have to do with me?"

Lou Xiaoting looked innocent and said to Shishi, "I was just worried that this matter would affect you, so I thought I'd come and let you know."

The two were not familiar with each other, and Shi Shi was very wary, especially since her ex-husband was involved.

"No need for dinner, let's talk in my office."

It's their home turf, so they don't believe he can do anything crazy.

Lou Xiaoting saw through it but didn't say anything, and agreed.

The two arrived at Shishi's office and sat down in the executive chair. Shishi lightly pressed a button under the armrest. That button was for her office's surveillance system. Not only could it upload images to the cloud instantly, but it could also record audio very clearly.

"Go ahead and say it," she said, adopting an indifferent attitude.

"Did you know that Fu Zhixu's father had passed away?"

Shi Shi's heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm on the surface. "His family affairs are none of my business. What exactly are you trying to say?"

Lou Xiaoting said mysteriously, "After his father passed away, his mother remarried quickly. He is now facing a big crisis because his mother is saying that he is unfilial."

Shi Shi frowned slightly, her feelings still somewhat complicated. "What does this have to do with me?"

Lou Xiaoting smiled and said, "If he doesn't handle this crisis well, he might be finished. I thought you would be happy to tell you this news."

Shi Shi sneered, "A living, breathing life is gone, what do I have to be happy about? Don't try to be mysterious here."

Lou Xiaoting continued, "You're a well-known music producer, different from the one with the virtuous wife in the past. He might want to take advantage of you. Sister Shi, you'd better be careful."

Although Fu Zhixu was unscrupulous, her intuition told her that Fu Zhixu had said they would no longer have any contact and would not interfere with each other. This time, he wouldn't drag her into it.

"You're well-informed. Is there anything else?" Lou Xiaoting shook his head. "No, just wanted to remind you."

Shi Shi stood up. "Okay, I understand. You can go now."

After Lou Xiaoting left, Shi Shi recalled her original self's impression of her in-laws.

Fu Zhixu's relationship with his parents was quite distant. In the original owner's memories, his mother-in-law was domineering and mean, and although his father-in-law was taciturn, he lacked affection for Fu Zhixu. Now that his father-in-law had passed away and his mother-in-law had remarried and even slandered him, Shi Shi couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Although none of this concerned her personally, Shi Shi, as the former daughter-in-law, still had to be careful to avoid being smeared.

After thinking it over, she still called Fu Yingzhou. After all, this was her private matter, and she didn't plan to tell Song Ming.

"Brother Niu, are you going home tonight?"

Listen to that, "Go home!" What beautiful words.

"I'm going home, but I'll be late. What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"No rush, we can talk about it when you get home."

"good."

Fu Yingzhou got home close to midnight. Shi Shi was already asleep on the sofa. Fu Yingzhou tiptoed over, saw Shi Shi lying on the sofa, and tenderly picked her up and put her on the bed in the bedroom. Shi Shi vaguely felt someone holding her, mumbled "Brother Niu," and then fell into a deep sleep again.

The next morning, Shi Shi woke up and remembered what she wanted to tell Fu Yingzhou the night before. She quickly got up, washed up, and went to the kitchen to tell Fu Yingzhou everything Lou Xiaoting had said.

After listening, Fu Yingzhou frowned. "Although it has nothing to do with you, you still need to be careful not to get dragged into this by his mother."

Shi Shi nodded. "That's what I thought too, that's why I told you."

"Don't worry, leave this to me."
